Volkman re-signs

According to Danny weidler 2 year 500k per year deal. But he also says in the very next sentence that those terms could be false just what he's heard.

Edit: The club has now confirmed

Volkman Commits to Eels Until 2028
The Parramatta Eels are pleased to announce Ronald Volkman has re-signed with the Club for a further two seasons, extending his stay in Blue and Gold until the end of the 2028 NRL season.
 Volkman’s form this season has seen him establish himself as a key contributor, with the talented playmaker continuing to build confidence and consistency under Head Coach Jason Ryles.

Parramatta Eels General Manager of Football Mark O'Neill said Volkman's re-signing was a deserved reward for his dedication and performances.
"The positive environment which Jason Ryles has created at the Club has provided some stability for Ronald where he is playing his best football of his career.​

"He has earned this opportunity with some wonderful individual and team performances, and he will only continue to improve," O'Neill said.
Volkman has enjoyed an outstanding season recording 10 try assists from 17 appearances and adds further stability to the Eels' roster as the Club continues to build towards the future under Ryles' leadership.

            • He removed his post, basically said it was $500k per season and it should leave the working about money to those that understand it.

                • Weidler later put a comment out saying it was the $500K for the 2 years, not per year.

              • I don't know why I removed it or even if I did.....context was the heading in blog of 500 per year. Still confused by that when reading it. That is maybe why I removed it...can't remember.

                I think I was also confused by the discussion on Junior at 750 for a season and at one point mixing that up with the Volkman discussion out of context.

                Context of leaving it to the people who understand the money was the cap implications.

                • Its all good. 

                  I know the implication was that it was $500k per season but I found that highly unlikely and was seeking confirmation. 

                   

                  • It was higher than I expected, but everyone was so diverse on it....of course no one actually knows, I reckon it might be more than 250 justifiably and less than 500, pluck the mioddle at 375 and I reckon he may even be happy.....as someone said he would have been on the base 120k but he would have hit a few KPI's during the course of this year, so I at least hoped his take home got up around the 250 for this year. I honestly have no idea how that works.....

                    • If it's $250k I reckon his agent has failed him a little,  that's a win for the eels.

                    • Only if he could've gotten substantially more.  Which it seems he couldn't. But I agree in theory if you'd told me he got 350 I don't think anyone would think it's overs , but, we also don't know what his priorities are .  Or if the 250 includes some juicy bonus's. 

    • Surley not lol.  Then again, this is Parramatta and we need to spend our cap somehow. 

  • Great stuff, I would rather be over paying a back up half that has the potential to be your future starter than be over paying a few plodders just meet to top 30 and salary cap requirements. 

    • Great statement JC, I totally agree with that appraisal
